Support multiple PHP versions

[magicsunday]

Currently its not possible to change the PHP version although its possible to install different versions in debian. Please add the possibility the select one of the installed PHP versions inside the pool management tab.

Workaround

• Create two (or more) pools (PHP 7.0, PHP 7.1, ...)

• Assign your websites to the specific pool and save the stuff

• Open a terminal (SSH) connection to your server

• Open /etc/openmediavault/config.xml

• Look for phpfpm configuration of your created pools

• Each one has an different uuid (its required later on, so remember the uuid for each pool)

  • This uuid is also assigned to the websites you created (php_pool_ref)

• Go to /etc/nginx/sites-available/

• Take a look in zzz-omv-nginx

  • This file contains your in the GUI created websites
  • There should be an entry "set $socket"
  • The *.sock name should contain the uuid of your pool

• Goto /etc/php/PHP-VERSION/fpm/pool.d

  • Under the version, your OMV (7.0 on my server) runs, there should be some *.conf files
  • There will be conf-files with the uuid of the pool in the name
    • In this file will be a listen entry pointing to the same *.sock file as the file zzz-omv-nginx does
  • Now you only need to move the uuid.conf file to the proper PHP-version folder (e.g. 7.1 if they are located under 7.0)
  • Restart your php-fpm services
    systemctl restart php7.0-fpm.service
systemctl restart php7.1-fpm.service
  • Maybe restart nginx as well (dont know any more)
    systemctl restart nginx.service

• systemctl status php7.1-fpm.service should show you the list of pools assigned to the PHP-FPM, so it should print the uuid of the respective pool.

If I didn't forget something, your websites should run with the proper PHP version.

Thanks a lot, that works perfectly.
At first I added the php7.2 socket manually to the nginx configuration but your solution is a lot better.
Worth noting: The step with looking into the openmediavault/config.xml is not needed if you check your nginx configuration for the website. Is probably easier to find in there.
Also you probably can't change the php pool in omv-ui anymore as it would create the pool configuration again.
Also I did move the pool uuid.config as I expect two pool configuration with the same uuid to make problems.
